TL;DR: Silicon (Si) substitution in the crystal structures of calcium phosphate (CaP) ceramics such as hydroxyapatite (HA) and tricalcium phosphate (TCP) generates materials with superior biological performance to stoichiometric counterparts.

TL;DR: A composition range and crystallographic structure for Si-TCP is proposed and it is proposed that Si(4+) substitutes for P(5+)in the TCP lattice with the average chemical composition of Si- TCP set primarily by the mechanisms available for charge compensation.

TL;DR: In this article, the lattice parameters of single-phase Si- α -TCP prepared with 0.87% silicon are a = 1 2.8 7 4 (1 ) A, b = 2 7.3 7 2 (2 ) A, c = 1 5.2 2 5 (1) A, and β = 12 6.3 8 ( 1 ) °.

TL;DR: The sintering of silicon doped calcium phosphate ceramics prepared from a basic colloidal hydroxyapatite precipitate mixed with silica over 800 degrees C yields a phase mixture of tricalcium phosphate phases (TCP) designated Si-TCP, beta- TCP and a silicon substituted dehydrated apatite (Si-Ap).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the issue of nanostructure-induced relaxation in 2D LTO nanosheets which profoundly modifies their Li storage properties and structural stability.
